I went crazy and picked up a few items including croissants (plain, dulce de leche, and guava & cream cheese), tres leche cake, tiramisu and sweet roll.
The lady that rang me up also included a complimentary slice of chocolate cake that was freshly baked.
I've noticed that the croissants that I sampled were flaky but less buttery than the French ones that I'm used to. That's actually not a bad thing. It's more of a preference. I do miss the oily fingers that I get from merely holding a croissant, but on the other hand, I feel that at Lar Monarca, I'll be able to have more than one croissant without running off to the gym to burn off the guilt. Personally, I thought La Monarca excelled more in their sweets than in the savory pastries. Their dulce de leche croissant and tiramisu were my favorites. With such a large offering, it'll take me many more weekends to put a dent on the menu, but I'll definitely try my best.
